Recentry, I play tennis too. I don't know her ever. She was winning athiete, too, when she was young.In 1989, Capriati became the youngest player to win the French Open junior singles title at the age of 13 years and 2 months. (The record stood until 1993, when Martina Hingis won the title as a 12-year-old.) She then went on to win the junior singles title at the 1989 U.S. Open and the junior doubles titles at both the U.S. Open and Wimbledon, partnering with Meredith McGrath. On September 14, 1989, she became the youngest ever Wightman Cup player,playing against Clare Wood, and the first player for four years to win a Wightman Cup match 6–0, 6–0.On March 5, 1990, three weeks before her 14th birthday, she became a professional tennis player. In her debut tournament at Boca Raton, Florida, she defeated four seeded players while becoming the youngest-ever player to reach a tour final, where she lost 6–4, 7–5 to Gabriela Sabatini. Despite the loss, her debut was on the cover of Sports Illustrated the following week. Three months later, she became the youngest-ever semifinalist at the French Open , where she lost to the eventual champion, Monica Seles. She then reached the fourth round at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open that year and won her first professional singles title in October at San Juan, Puerto Rico. She finished the year ranked eighth in the world.In 1991, she reached the semifinals at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. She was Wimbledon's youngest-ever semifinalist after defeating the then-defending champion Martina Navratilova in the quarterfinals, which was Navratilova's earliest Wimbledon exit in 14 years. Capriati won two singles titles that year and her only tour doubles title .The biggest moment of Capriati's early career came in 1992, when she won the women's singles gold medal at the Olympic Games in Barcelona.
